I'm looking at getting back into a skyline and am very interested in an 06 or 07 V35 coupe manual...hopefully the right one will pop up soon and i have the finances...prices at auctions look good, hopefully the aussie dollar can rise some more and make it a bit better :)

apart from interior/dash centre console design update, and optional Bose comes with MD player not Casette anymore (although kind of useless, Sony MD format never really picks up as a mainstream media), and the Navi panel features CARWINGS, which again is useless because CARWINGS only works in Japan (like a road assist / info program) nothing else different to the early V35.

Of course price is still up there as they're newer cars with on average less km travelled compared to the early ones.

Oh, the engine will still be VQ35DE like the early models. Don't compare it to USA's Infiniti G35 spec because in the JDM model the 06-07 model does not get the VQ35HR engine upgrade. So if there is any dealers out there advertising their 06/07 V35 Skyline with 'updated engine or 232kw', they're either lying or have no idea what they're talking about, or the car has been modified/engine swap which basically they're not suppose to be complied.

So Basically there is no real difference between buying a 2003 and a 2006 V35?

Its not like buying say an r33 where there were actual differences between models?

From what i understand the only difference is the headlights and the interior stuff that was mentioned before...and also most, if not all, the electrical bugs and that have been fixed... one of the reasons why i want one

      Stock rb25det neo questions

      Hows your intake piping? Are you still running stock? Having in the stock AFM position would mean, if the BOV was shut/venting out, it'd create the almost stalling kind of effect right // "the rich pulse behaviour" due to MAF thinking air is flowing ? But this would be better than having the bov in the stock position + MAF on/just before cross over piping right?

      Essentially, yes. Although I wouldn't put the AFM on the crossover pipe. I'd want to put it into what amounts to the correct size tube, which is more easily done in the intercooler pipework. I bought a mount tube for card stile AFM that replaces the stock AFM - although being a cheap AliExpress knockoff, it had not flange and I had to make and weld my own. But it is the same length and diameter as the stock RB AFM, goes on my airbox, etc etc. I don't have a sick enough rig to warrant anything different, and the swap will take 5 minutes (when I finally get around to it and the injectors & the dyno tune).

      So to summarise, the best thing to do is to move recirc to between turbo and IC, and maf on the crossover pipe. Meaning I'd need a recirc flange, drill a hole in the piping on turbo outlet area. And drill hole on crossover to fit/weld maf sensor? Either that or put the MAF on the turbo inlet right?  Is an aftermarket recirc/blowoff valve recommended? Do currently have family in Japan so could probably bring something back with maybe a cheeky lil SuperAutobacs run?

      Lets play a game - What is causing my oil consumption?

      By tsuokun · Posted

      Yep, so far most have said that it looks like corrosion on the wall from piston not moving. Which then has probably damaged the oil rings and caused those vertical marks. The longest the engine was still after the rebuild, was the winter of 2018 - 2019, plus the boat trip to Japan. When I shipped the car, it had normal gas in the tank but before that winter pause, it had E85 in tank.  In any case, even if either one of those was the cause, it happened close to 6 years ago and the car has been driven something like 30 000kms after the fact. Again, apart from the plugs and the dip stick, there is nothing in the way the car runs that would indicate what has been going on in the engine. I am going to consult a shop and ask their opinion, what would be the best approach. I do have some access to a garage I could use to diagnose further myself, but time is very restrictive. Might end up buying another engine that could be used while this one is being remedied. Without pulling the head, it will be impossible to find out if it needs another bore, but here's to hoping a hone would suffice.  Goddamnit, I would really have preferred this not happening.

      Got this r31 silhouette flood car to rebuild.

      By 25RBGT · Posted

      Boot is going to be replaced eventually. I just wire brushed what I could and rust converted. Then painted in rust kill primer. the spoiler also got repainted and plugs replaced on the ends. The under side of the bonnet is going to be black also, currently white. But red on the top side, same colour code as the silo to begin.
